    Holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday greetings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holiday greetings are a selection of greetings that are often spoken with good intentions to strangers, family, or friends, in nations around the world, during the months of December and January. Holidays with greetings include Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving (United States), and Hanukkah. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on the cultural and religious status of any given area. Typically, a greeting consists of the word "Happy" followed by the holiday, such as "Happy Eid", "Happy Hanukkah", or "Happy New Year", although the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a notable exception. In the United States, the collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the Winter holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Controversy has arisen in the U.S regarding its usage of the phrase "Happy Holidays", as an alleged attempt to diminish the Christian elements of Christmas, although its use promotes other holidays commonly celebrated there. Contents 1 Merry/Happy Christmas 1.1 History of the phrase 2 Happy Holidays 3 Season's Greetings 4 Christmas and Holiday Greetings 4.1 Christmas Wishes (Non-English) 4.2 Non-English, Non-Christmas 4.3 English 4.4 Other 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Merry/Happy Christmas The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5. Also featured this week: Secret Mezzanine, a duo Wednesdays | 5-9pm sprung from Canterbury High School and a homemade ukulele.
